Ha Long Bay Horizons Package

Ha Long Bay Horizons Package Tour

Vietnam’s iconic Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay

4 Days & 3 Nights Photography Tour

Cruise out for an unforgettable journey on the waters of Vietnam’s iconic Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay. We travel by chartered 5 star junk, far from the tourist hordes, and experience a side of Ha Long that most visitors barely glimpse. For the photographers, we have sunset seascape shoots from the top deck of our boat, and a visit to a floating village to capture portraits of local life. Other adventures include a sampan or kayak excursion into the lagoons and caves surrounding Cat Ba National Park, trekking in sea caves and up to bird’s-eye viewpoints, as well as the chance to just chill on beaches and on the deck with a drink. On our last morning in Hanoi we have an early morning wander among the hidden alleyways and bustling markets of the capital.

‘I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, like myself, just getting to know the beginnings of photography but also to people a little more advanced as, in my opinion, these guides know their stuff. They have the answer to all the questions. 100% amazing, educational, fun, friendly, all the positive words. I just loved it.’

Day 1 – Ha Long Horizons – Hanoi Arrival

Complimentary airport pick-up. We have a welcome dinner with the ViF team at a gourmet Vietnamese restaurant, before heading out for a Hanoi by Night tour.

Day 2 – Ha Long Horizons – Karst Islands

Our minibus picks us up from the hotel at 7am for the trip to Ha Long, and we arrive at port by 11. Once check-in is complete, we’ll have lunch on deck as we sail out into the stunning bay. The afternoon takes us to to an island with a secluded beach, plus an optional kayaking trip among the karst islands. As the sun sets, all cameras will be on deck for this spectacular time of day. Before dinner, the photographers can also participate in a review workshop with our tour leader.

After breakfast, our boat heads to a floating village, where photographers will enjoy an up-close encounter with local life. We then have a short trek in Thien Son Cave, which features marvellous limestone rock formations. Lunch is served on board as we return to port. In the afternoon, we return to Hanoi, arriving in the capital at 4pm.
